Moving to Davie, Florida — South Florida's Unique Equestrian Suburb
Davie is one of South Florida's most distinctive and beloved communities — a genuine equestrian town in the middle of Broward County where horses are a part of everyday life, large lots are the norm, Nova Southeastern University anchors an academic community, and the pace of life is refreshingly different from the typical coastal Florida experience. For buyers who want character, space, and authenticity, Davie is one-of-a-kind.
Equestrian Culture & Large Lots
Davie is unique in South Florida — equestrian zoning allows horses on residential properties throughout much of the town. Wide grassy corridors, riding trails, and tack shops are part of daily life. This is genuine horse country in the middle of a metro area of 7 million people. For buyers seeking large lots, a rural feel, and the ability to keep horses at home, there is no equivalent in Broward County.
Nova Southeastern University
NSU's main campus is in Davie — creating a unique academic energy, employment base, hospital (NSU Health Clinic), and cultural programming that enriches the community. The university attracts students, faculty, and medical professionals who contribute to Davie's diverse, educated demographic.
Real Estate & Value
Davie offers significantly larger lot sizes than most Broward communities at comparable or lower prices. The equestrian corridor commands premium pricing, while central Davie near NSU offers excellent family value. The town's character — authentic, spacious, community-oriented — is consistently cited by residents as one of its most irreplaceable qualities.
